Increase your design capabilities. Place rotors where you couldn’t before with this patented rotary switch that can be incorporated into a traditional polyester membrane switch. The ThiNCoder Rotor is extremely low profile resulting in a thinner, lighter unit and is sealable to keep out dirt and moisture. It also offers an extended life...all at a competitive price.

Attributes

• Lowest profile encoder available:
  - ultra-thin; non-invasive
  - package thickness below overlay is less than 0.085"
  - only rotor in the world that can be mounted on a flex circuit
• Low cost:
  - lower component costs
  - integration eliminates secondary assembly processes of typical
  rotors
  - no soldering required
• Flat panel integration on flex circuit:
  - easily integrated with other switch products including Pushgate™
  and MagnaMouse™ as well as dome and membrane switches into
  one thin panel
  - potential for increased PCB real estate and design flexibility
• Saves power: no parasitic power required as with optical encoders
• Design customization (multiple codes and indexing options):
  - analog Potentiometer
  - quadrature (Repeating 2-Bit Gray Code)
  - binary (Repeating 2-Bit Code)
  - low energy circuit capable - dry circuit compatible
  - detents/stops, knobs can be customized
• Reliable and durable: life of 100,000 rotations
• Environmentally sealed circuit eliminates through-holes
• U.S. Patent No.5,666,096; 6,305,071
